       2. The electronic vapor provision device of  claim 1 , wherein the heating element support comprises a support channel and the heating element is located in the support channel. 
     
     
       3. The electronic vapor provision device of  claim 2 , wherein the heating element support is elongated in a lengthwise direction, and wherein the support channel runs parallel to the lengthwise direction of the heating element support. 
     
     
       4. The electronic vapor provision device of  claim 2 , wherein the support channel is a central support channel. 
     
     
       5. The electronic vapor provision device of  claim 2 , wherein the support channel is a side support channel, located on a side of the heating element support and configured to create at least one gap between the heating element and the heating element support, wherein the at least one gap enables or increases wicking, liquid storage or vaporization. 
     
     
       6. The electronic vapor provision device of  claim 2 , wherein the support channel is substantially cylindrical. 
     
     
       7. The electronic vapor provision device of  claim 2 , wherein a cross-sectional shape of the support channel is circular. 
     
     
       8. The electronic vapor provision device of  claim 2 , wherein a cross-sectional shape of the support channel is a polygon. 
     
     
       9. The electronic vapor provision device of  claim 8 , wherein the cross-sectional shape of the support channel has 4 sides, 6 sides or 8 sides. 
     
     
       10. The electronic vapor provision device of  claim 2 , wherein the support channel is provided between the first support section and the second support section and the heating element is in the support channel. 
     
     
       11. The electronic vapor provision device of  claim 10 , wherein the first support section provides a first side of the support channel and the second support section provides a second side of the support channel. 
     
     
       12. The electronic vapor provision device of  claim 10 , wherein the heating element runs along a length of the support channel. 
     
     
       13. The electronic vapor provision device of  claim 10 , wherein the heating element is in contact with the support channel at points along a length of the support channel. 
     
     
       14. The electronic vapor provision device of  claim 1 , wherein the heating element is a heating coil. 
     
     
       15. The electronic vapor provision device of  claim 14 , wherein the heating coil is coiled so as to be supported along its length by the heating element support. 
     
     
       16. The electronic vapor provision device of  claim 1 , wherein the heating element is not supported on its inside. 
     
     
       17. A vaporizer comprising:
 a heating element and a heating element support for an electronic vapor provision device comprising a power cell, wherein the heating element is on an inside of the heating element support, and wherein the heating element support comprises a first support section and a second support section abut one another to form the heating element support, wherein the heating element is supported by the first support section and the second support section, and wherein the heating element is supported between the first support section and the second support section. 
 
     
     
       18. A vaporizer comprising:
 a heating element and a heating element support for electronic vapor provision device comprising a liquid store and an air outlet for vaporized liquid from the heating element, wherein the heating element support is configured to support the heating element, wherein the heating element is on an inside of the heating element support, and wherein the heating element support is a wicking element for wicking liquid from the liquid store to the heating element for vaporizing liquid, 
 wherein the heating element support comprises a first support section and a second support section abut one another to form the heating element support, and wherein the heating element is supported by the first support section and the second support section, and wherein the heating element is supported between the first support section and the second support section.
